Mainstream Engineering to Support Development of Process to Convert Municipal Solid Waste to Energy

ROCKLEDGE, FL — [April 6, 2020] — Mainstream Engineering Corporation has been awarded a subcontract from Worcester Polytechnic Institute to support development of a catalytic process to convert municipal solid waste to energy for the Department of Energy.

The project goal is to improve processibility and conversion of municipal solid waste (MSW) to an energy dense liquid product by integrating green waste fractionation with hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) and catalytic upgrading. As landfill space decreases, it is important that we develop new solutions that divert MSW from landfills to produce a valuable energy product. HTL is an excellent choice to process MSW because HTL can rapidly convert wet feeds into biocrude oil. Mainstream will perform analyses to quantify the benefits of different reaction conditions and configurations on the total cost of the energy product. Ultimately, the project will result in a strategy to convert wet wastes generated by municipalities to an economically viable energy product.
